i heart the Seibert rule. I.e. You can’t get a confession from someone before mirandizing him and then mirandize him only to have him repeat the confession. Obviously, if someone already confessed they would not appreciate the difference in confessing again after Miranda warnings. Ninth circuit granted a writ in a gang homicide on this issue. Pretty compelling facts because there was not a significant amount of time between the second unwarned interrogation and the warned interrogation which took place on the same day. (they had previously interrogated him without warnings the day before which likely didn’t matter because of the two interrogations the next day). It helps that he was only 15. Great case.
